tv ratings

.....I haven't really seen this mentioned much lately - so I was wondering what all the wrestling shows were doing ratings wise.....

RAW - Smackdown! - ECW - TNA and also I'm curious to see what the various UFC programs are getting.

RAW is always around a 4.0. Smackdown! always has to deal with pre-emptions, so its low rating isn't a good reflection of the product, and ECW has been getting great ratings. The average seems to be a 2.4. The interesting thing is that the time change on the previous show to 11 PM did nothing to decrease the rating. So it means people like what they see apparently.

I don't follow UFC. From what I've seen, I could care less. It seems like a flavor of the month kind of following it has. After awhile, much like pro wrestling, people just won't care.

TNA consistently gets around a 1.0 for their lousy 11 PM timeslot on Thursdays, which is actually pretty good. As noted in the Independent forum, Impact may be getting a better timeslot and two hours in the near future.

UFC apparently is doing BETTER than WWE when it comes to PPVs.  I think they are just slightly ahead, but they are ahead (if I remember what I read correctly).
